Correction appended.
I cannot understand why anyone watches the Academy Awards. TV seems like a strange place these days even to get entertained, trapped as it is between nonsensical punditry (never have so many talked so much about so little) and imbecilic sleaze (cable gives us porn without penetration or money shots, which is porn without the courage of its convictions). But why watch an industry — any industry — give itself awards? I have simply never fathomed why anyone would care who was voted the best fashion designer or who did the best art directing? I know that these deluxe edition DVD's makes everyone a film scholar these days, but I still don't think most people — except pedantic cineastes — really care who the cinematographer was.
I am aware that most don't watch for the lesser awards but rather for those given for acting. But these actors are commonplace these days. One sees them on TV all the time, plugging their movies or gassing inarticulately about their spiritual growth or some such nonsense. It is amazing that these people have become significant simply through the power of advertising.
When I was a kid, one didn't see movie stars like Elizabeth Taylor or Robert Ryan or Charlton Heston or Paul Newman on TV much, so watching the Academy Awards had the appeal of seeing these people somewhere special, other than in a movie. It was also something like a reality show — when people lost and were disappointed, it showed. Reality shows were rare on TV then. Now, I expect my neighbors in Webster Groves, Mo., to be the next big stars on some show about life in a suburban town where, maybe, we all might experiment with homosexuality to see who really has a yen for it or maybe all of us will swap mates, houses, jobs and churches.
The last time I watched the Oscars all the way through, in 1972, Marlon Brando refused the award for best actor for "The Godfather" and sent a woman named Sacheen Littlefeather to diss Hollywood's treatment of Indians. That was the same year that Diana Ross was nominated for best actress for "Lady Sings the Blues." I kept thinking that perhaps it was just me but Diana Ross's performance was the worst I had ever seen this side of a high school. Berry Gordy tried to buy her the award but he ran out of money or time or both. She didn't win. Some blacks said that it was racism, since Liza Minelli, who did win for playing Sally Bowles in "Cabaret," wasn't much better than Ross. She wasn't much better but she was better. Geez, does standing up for your ethnic group mean you have to defend utter mediocrity?
The show has gotten no better over the years. Mediocrities continue to win, the occasional rich, dumb activist speaks out about something; in 2002 Halle Berry behaved as if her Oscar liberated black people. (It has failed to even liberate her career.)
But the big reason I don't watch the Academy Awards, aside from the fact that in my middle age I almost never go the movies anymore, is that it is an awards show. Most of the time when you win an award, it is not merit or talent that gains the day. It is pure luck, absolute accident. Consider the literary award, which I know well: I have won a few and served on a handful of literary juries. You win because the jury couldn't agree on anything else or people weren't sure what they were voting on, or, fortunately, no one read your work while the others got read or the best part of yours got read and not the best parts of the others, or a friend bullied it through, or yours came up when it was the year to give it to a minority or yours came up in the year that giving something to a small, independent publisher was the ticket, or you're pretty old and never won, or you're so young that winning makes you seem like a wunderkind and the jury seems prescient. (That the wunderkinds may fade into oblivion is a great possibility.)
None of it makes any sense or serves much any purpose. When you win you feel as if you have been struck by lightning and burdened with the glow. And when you slect somebody to win you feel as if you have been struck by a car and burdened by the wreckage. And anyone who gets a puffed-up ego because of it is absolutely insane or believes in fantasy more than he or she should. People are the only animals that make promises, I have been told. We are also the only animals that give awards. That should tell you something.
An earlier version of this post contained three sentences about George C. Scott that have since been deleted. In them, Mr. Early speculated that Mr. Scott refused his best actor Oscar in 1970 for "Patton" because he was upset about not winning the best supporting actor award for his role in the 1961 film, "The Hustler." In fact, Mr. Scott had declined his nomination for "The Hustler."

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 55736
Keyboard enters islandic characters instead of Turkish characters
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:38:02 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2.1) Gecko/20010901
Description of problem:
xkb tr symbol file is incorrect. Due to problems also with capslock issues
(capslock is hard-wired in X and not derived from the keyboard map files),
a little more is required than simply replacing the tr file. Detailed
description of problem, solution and necessary files is at the URL above.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Turkish language during language selection during install.
2.SElect the Turkish keyboard, either from GNOME or KDE.
3.Try entering ?,?, or ?
Actual Results: You get the islandic characters yacute, thorn and eth
Expected Results: You should get the Turkish characters idotless, scedilla
and gbrave.
Additional info:
http://www.arayan.com/da/linux.html details this issue and how to get
around it.
The following locale aliases are present in XFree86 4.2.0 for turkish
tr: tr_TR.ISO8859-9
tr_TR: tr_TR.ISO8859-9
tr_TR.iso88599: tr_TR.ISO8859-9
tr_TR.ISO-8859-9: tr_TR.ISO8859-9
Those pretty much account for the symlink munged aliasing on the URL
provided above, except for the UTF-8 one. I've just added it to
the locale.alias file myself:
tr_TR.utf8: tr_TR.UTF-8
The rest of the changes are outside my area of expertise, and outside
the level of enhancement I can provide. The best way to have these
types of changes - for any language/locale are to have the authors
of such changes submit them directly to firstname.lastname@example.com with full
explanations of what they fix.
Any changes we make to XFree86 from here on out are based on the 4.2.0
release, so please check that release out for the most up to date
XFree86 support.
Hope this helps.

Community Events
Crop Hunger Walk
A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the CROP Hunger Walk, and special thanks to Casey Jean, Alex Fiolek, Jackie Lecznar, Katie Henderson, and Devyn Miller for representing MIMA. Our hearts go out to all those affected by the recent hurricanes. We proudly raised $415 for the Church World Organization and their relief efforts, more than any other RSO on campus! 25% of the funds raised will also go to Project Starburst and Third Ave Free Lunch program. It is so important to give back to the community and we are excited to be part of such a great cause.
College of Business Bowling Tournament
Adopt A Family
A team of MIMA members competed in the Annual College of Business Bowling Tournament at The Gate's new location and enjoyed a fun night with College of Business RSOs, faculty and staff. This famous event happens each semester and is hosted by AMA Ferris. All funds raised from this event went toward sponsoring a Feeding America foodtruck.
This year, MIMA had the opportunity to work with Adopt A Family and purchase Christmas presents for a single mother and her three children.
"The Adopt A Family program, which begins each year in early September and runs through the end of December, has been serving those in need across Michigan since 1993. In the 25-year history of this special program, hope and joy – along with toys, clothing and meals – have been brought to children, seniors and veterans during the season that is supposed to be the happiest time of the year. Sponsors (individuals, families, teams, organizations, businesses) adopt families for the holidays, providing at least one new toy and one new outfit for each child in the family, as well as a special holiday meal."
MIMA would like to recognize Ian Evo as our MIMAN of the Month for January 2018. Over the past couple months, Ian has committed countless hours to crafting his music abilities. He has worked on stage teams for the Fashion Alliance Show and On the Rise, as well as working in the studio. Ian has jumped at every opportunity to further develop his skills-- earning the most professional development points out of all MIMA members this past semester. He has taken it upon himself to learn about our future projects and leadership positions. He has a strong desire and passion to learn every aspect of the music industry and we commemorate him for that. Great job Ian!
Partner Events
Fashion Alliance Show
Students from MIMA had the opportunity to work lighting and sound for the Student Fashion Alliance Halloween Nightmare Fashion Show. TK White, a MIMA member walked in the show and Nick Robertson worked the show as the DJ.

A happy note from John Pike:
"Ever have that uneasy feeling that maybe your perspective wasn't quite right, and you didn't know why? There's that elusive roof line angle, with others across the street going in all kinds of directions. Entirely confused by a mess of odd shaped gables? The street was doing fine until it suddenly dropped off the edge of the world - Why? These are the eternal problems of anyone who ever wished to put down his beautiful thoughts pictorially.
Never fear - old John is here! Now I don't claim my gadget has all the answers to your problems, but it sure can "ease" your perspective difficulties when working in the field.
I modestly call it -

Education Tips
- Education is a huge investment of time and money so be ready to ask a lot of questions of any college or university you are considering. Therefore, create a list of questions and take notes as you get your answers while talking to an enrolment advisor or when signing up and requesting information.
- Be wary of any school that is unable to or refuses to answer any of your questions. A degree is a long-term commitment and choosing a college or university that understands and can meet your needs should be one of your top priorities.
- Sign up and request information from several schools so that you can compare and, if possible, negotiate more favourable conditions.
- There is no such thing as the "perfect" college or university. Stay open minded and realize that any number of schools may be a good fit for you and provide you with the degree and student services that you need.
Important aspects you should pay attention to include:
- School's accreditation
- Financial aid offered
- Tuition and fees. What's included and what isn't. Payment plans.
- Student services available
- Instructors' credentials
- How tests are administered
- Time required to complete the program
- How long the program has been offered and how many students have enrolled
- Key dates
- Any requirements or pre-requisites

A bit of a mixture
I got my prints back from the framer yesterday and set to work Labeling. Tried a new man in Narooma for the matting and the result was rather disappointing. About half had rough edges and will have to go back. I'll give him a chance to fix the problem and see how he responds and how the new work presents that I left with him turns out. Fortunately there's time before its needed.
Its ages since I've done any labeling so I downloaded the free software from Avery.
It was a huge improvement on the version I'd used some years ago and the V5 is downloaded not V4 as shown on the website so I guess its as up to date as could be.
Tina went of to Croquet yesterday afternoon and had only been gone when the phone rang. It was friends from Canada who migrate a year or two before we left for Oz in 1970. We'd lost touch and a mutual friend died last year so the link was broken. Wonderful what you can find on the web, they tracked me down and it was marvelous to catch up after so long.
Here's another side of the mother mountain's moods taken during a ferocious storm a week or so ago. With some prompting from a third party I've started a daily series of shots which will become a sequence of time lapses of the whole year, Summer and winter. I've pinched Tina's Canon G9 for this exercise leaving my Sony DSLR free for other matters.The heat's back again this week and so far today the wind hasn't got up to take the edge of it. I must have words with the weather man.
'Nuff for now.

Today we're announcing the most radical changes to NixonMcInnes in our 14 year history. It doesn't affect any engagements with existing clients, but it's a pretty big deal for us. This is a long post so if you're short of time you can skip down to the headlines of how the new NM will work.
Why we are changing
It comes down to two things:
Purpose: being set up in the best possible way to scale up our positive impact in the world.
Resilience: for a world which is more volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous.
The operating model we've had since we began in 2000 is typical for a professional services firm. We have quite a fixed set-up with nice offices and lots of smart people on the payroll. There's a flat structure with a management team at the 'top', a high degree of transparency, and empowered employees working autonomously. There are targets, budgets and plans. It's a proven model – award winning in fact – and has kept many people in interesting work for almost a decade and a half. So why change?
Feeding the machine
There are some side-effects of the standard professional services model. The first is the month-in month-out pressure to 'hit the numbers'. If your purpose is to make money and sell the company in a few years, that's okay, but if you're in the long-term impact business like us, it's not. It can be a big distraction from finding and delivering the most purposeful work, which often isn't the most profitable in the short-term.
Recurring revenues are vital to the professional services firm, but it's rarely these monthly contracts that create real positive impact in the world – they're usually based on simple tasks that a client can't or doesn't want to do themselves. It's often chasing money to keep the system running. But without recurring revenues, the business is subject to boom and bust cycles. NM has been an absolute engine of profit in good times and we've also peered into the abyss a few times too. I'll never forget the great cash crunch of 2009 when our three largest clients all let us down on big invoice payments at the same time. We've always pulled through and the company is run in the black without external investment. But in an increasingly volatile world, the model isn't resilient.
Mobilising the best team to do the work they love
Having a fixed, in-house team is another limiting factor even when the people are as brilliant as ours. When work is secured, you have to 'utilise your resources'. Every consultancy out there loves to track their chargeable utilisation metrics. The business model can demand that utilisation be prioritised regardless of whether it's the most fulfilling work for the employee, or if they're the absolute best person to do the work relative to all possible associates. It gets in the way of putting the very best, world class team together for projects and allowing people complete autonomy to choose the work they love.
From digital to purposeful
Finally, this change is the last step in NM fully moving on from 'digital consultancy'. It will allow employees who love digital to continue their work outside NM, whilst allowing the company to fully emerge into a new phase dedicated to developing purposeful organisations.
So we are addressing all of these issues, and realising the potential to create a far more purposeful, resilient company by transitioning to a radically different model. I wrote an internal proposal called 'Operation Supernova' which set out this transformation over a year ago, and now the conditions are right for it to happen.
I believe the future of work is not building fixed, monolithic companies which chase revenue. We can do much better than that and we're going to have a lot more fun creating a lot more impact.
How the new NixonMcInnes will work
The business model is changing from a centralised company with employees, to a decentralised associate and partner-based model.
NM founder Tom Nixon will run the company and continue to build a network of trusted associates, including many former employees, to help him with his initiative of developing purposeful organisations.
Consultants will be working as independent spin-out businesses, owned by them and in partnership with NM. Many will continue delivering digital consulting work. We'll be announcing these spin-outs over the coming weeks.
Our new, flexible model will allow us to work with smaller, purposeful, disruptive clients as well as the very large organisations we currently serve.
Clients will be able to work with any of our people by contracting through NM or directly with our spin-out businesses and associates. It's an ecosystem approach to business based on our core value of abundance. There's plenty of work out there for everyone so we don't need to lock things down.
The NM Meaning Conference will continue and grow (get your 2015 ticket now).
All contracts and services to existing NM clients are completely unaffected by the changes.
We are mid-way through this transition right now, and it will complete on 28 Feb 2015.
The dark and murky side of change
This process is much more than an evolutionary development. It's a real act of creative destruction. It's an exciting and necessary transition, but change is never easy. In fact it's bloody hard! We've had some incredibly difficult moments and tough conversations as this has unfolded. There have been moments of absolute black comedy (Max and I, diligently following employment law, had to read each other a formally worded letter, which included ad-libbing light hearted insults.) There has been a real spirit of opportunity and optimism too. The full melting pot of human emotions and needs have been felt absolutely viscerally. It's felt chaotic at times. I've just tried to hang on to the intent towards purpose and resilience and the integrity that everyone expects from this company. That's been the anchor.
Some words of thanks
I am acutely aware this transition could not happen without the extraordinary courage and collaborative attitude of every NM team member. I owe them all a huge thanks.
I've personally felt out of my depth on more than one occasion. The leadership of Max St John through the last year and the transition process so far has been incredible, as has the support from fellow board member Jenni Lloyd, and advisors Nick Shepheard, Charlie Davies, Matt Weston and Lasy Lawless. And finally thanks in particular to NM shareholders Will McInnes and Pete Burden who have been extremely supportive. Thank you all.
Onwards to a bright, purposeful and resilient future.

Hello, I just stumbled upon the site, like what I see so far. I've been looking for an opportunity to continue practicing and learning the language, and I like the way this site is laid out.
To introduce myself, I'm from the US, living in Illinois currently. I've studied Japanese on and off for about five years now, and I've taken five semesters, four here, one in Japan. I must admit, the semester in Japan was worth about three here, but anyway, I know hiragana and katakana, as well as about 300 kanji. I haven't taken a proficiency test yet, but I'm likely around a level 3.
My spoken/listening is less rusty than my writing, so conversing online will be helpful. If you'd like to chat, you can find my info in my profile. I'm always willing to help anyone starting on the language or that has questions in general about the Kansai area.
New members may introduce themselves in this forum

3 key ways to embrace your Big Data destiny
Do you approach data analytics with the same enthusiasm as a big pile of leafy vegetables? You know you need to consume more of it, but, man, that steak, fries, or big piece of chocolate cake just seem so much more appealing.
Recently we conducted a survey (mostly marketing folks) to rate how they approached data analytics. It's a small sample, I know, but bear with me for a second.
Of the 16 people responding to the poll, 6 stated they were somewhat effective and 9 said they were not effective or didn't use data analytics at all (the figure here shows the actual results.) Taken together that's more than 90%.
This fascinating because, just about a year ago, we teamed up with ITSMA and VisionEdge Marketing to explore the state of marketing's performance management. While quizzing participants about reporting and dashboards, we slipped in a question or two about data analytic effectiveness, and the distribution of responses in 2013 are similar to this poll: only 10% of those surveyed gave themselves a "thumbs up" for data analytic proficiency. What's going on here? Do marketers really approach data with the same gusto as a large plate of kale?
Like a new diet or exercise regime, starting is often the hardest part. But now is the time for B2B marketers to put data to work. To make the task more manageable, dig into your existing data and follow these 3 key practices:
1) Analyze your "best" customers. Talk with sales and product teams to uncover what distinguishes your most valuable accounts. Who was involved in the decision-making process, how did their influence change at various stages in the journey, what information did they rely on, and where did they go to get it? Validate the answers you come up with against existing customer data to uncover nonobvious insights and clues that may not show up in the first round of discussion. (It also helps you test whether your teams rely on facts or assumptions when assessing what makes customers valuable.)
2) Apply insights to accelerate sales. Use what you learn to identify strong complementary offers and to arm sales with information that grabs buyer attention. Analytics can help marketers understand which individuals matter in the accounts that fit the pattern of your better customers, what content to deliver to engage them with the information they want and need, and how to apply this insight to creating a more informed marketing mix.
3) Use data analytics to predict where to go next. Understanding how buyers buy helps marketers figure out how and where to intercept decision-makers as they explore solutions - especially when they are early in the problem definition and solution exploration phases. Use analytics to help sift through undifferentiated top-of-the-funnel activity to spot and cultivate new leads as well as look for new business opportunities (perhaps in an unexplored industry?) to pursue.

'Insatiable' Real Madrid hailed masters of Europe
Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric has explained how Zinedine Zidane identified a weakness in the Juventus defence that was key to their Champions League triumph. "If our current team is complemented with new players, we'll be really competitive in the Champions League next year". American football team Buffalo Bills also has a decent potential to be at the top of this list, because they never won the Super Bowl and yet they played in four straight finals from 1990 until 1993.

text: What a red letter day! The two pubs I most often frequent (both Ossetts) have just taken the 'C'-word off their bars...and replaced it with Leffe Blonde of all things. TOTAL BONUS! I'm not a great partaker of Leffe (though that's mostly down to price) but the smug entertainment value in watching the faces of 'drinkers' automatically ordering "two pints a' C***lin' mate/luv" without even checking to see if it's served (anybody else noticed this 'how can you call yourselves a pub if you don't serve Crapling' attitude from the 'I won't touch owt unless I've seen it on the telly' brigade?), promises to be quality fun over the festive period. It might even take the sting out of having to share my favourite quaffing holes with folk who don't get in a pub from one Christmas to the next. Having the guts to take such a radical step will certainly ensure my continued support for this embryonic chain - now let's see a few more follow suit!

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service's internal watchdog Tuesday called on the agency to develop a concerted strategy to address the possible use of virtual currencies in tax evasion or money-laundering schemes.
"None of the IRS operating divisions have developed any type of compliance initiatives or guidelines for conducting examinations or investigations specific to tax noncompliance related to virtual currency," the IRS inspector general said in a report. "IRS management needs to develop an overall strategy to address taxpayer use of virtual currencies as property and as currency."
The watchdog also recommended that the IRS improve coordination on virtual currency work within the agency. In response, the IRS agreed to improve coordination and "develop the appropriate strategy for addressing" tax fraud tied to the use of virtual currency.
The watchdog did acknowledge a number of measures the IRS has taken in recent years to address the rise of virtual currency.
In December 2013, the agency created an internal team dedicated to virtual currency. Initially, the group was focused on investigating tax evasion schemes perpetrated with bitcoin, but last year its mandate was expanded to "meet and share knowledge on virtual currency." Also, in 2014, the IRS published guidance that specified that virtual currency is taxable like property.
But the IG said the agency has made little progress addressing tax compliance risks associated with bitcoin. Since 2003, "the IRS's position on virtual currency as a tax compliance risk requiring additional oversight has remained relatively unchanged," the report said.
In addition, the watchdog found that the IRS had failed to study how bitcoin could be used in money laundering or terrorism financing. IRS agents are responsible for examining nonbank financial institutions, including many virtual currency exchanges registered as money services businesses, for Bank Secrecy Act compliance.
"The IRS has significant tools available to help ensure that virtual currency exchanges are following the law and that unscrupulous individuals are not engaged in criminal activities through the use of virtual currencies," the inspector general said. "However, the IRS has primarily focused its limited virtual currency efforts on tax compliance issues and not enforcement of the potential criminal activities that are subject to the BSA."
The IG also recommended that the IRS issue additional guidance for the public and update common tax reporting forms to include a separate slot for virtual currency transactions. The agency said it would evaluate whether it had enough resources to take those measures.
"It is imperative that the IRS ensures that those who engage in activities using virtual currencies comply with all of their tax obligations," said J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration, in a statement accompanying the report.

The federal government has introduced legislation to legalize recreational cannabis by July 2018, but left it up to the provinces and territories to oversee distribution and sales.
Ontario is the first province out of the gate with a detailed plan to sell and distribute recreational cannabis when Ottawa legalizes it next summer.
Cannabis will be sold in Ontario through a chain of government-run stores, all existing medical cannabis dispensaries will be closed, and consumption will be limited to private homes, Ontario's Liberal government said Friday in announcing the province's framework governing recreational cannabis.
- The proposed minimum age to use, purchase and possess recreational cannabis in Ontario will be 19. The use of recreational cannabis will be prohibited in public places and workplaces.
- Illicit cannabis dispensaries are not and will not be legal retailers. The province will pursue a coordinated and proactive enforcement strategy, working with municipalities, local police services, the OPP and the federal government to help shut down these illegal operations.
- Ontario will prohibit individuals under the age of 19 from possessing or consuming recreational cannabis, which will allow police to confiscate small amounts of cannabis from young people. The province's approach to protecting youth will focus on prevention, diversion, and harm reduction without unnecessarily bringing them into contact with the justice system.
The government hopes to have 40 cannabis outlets by July 2018, 80 by July 2019 and 150 up and running by 2020. Online distribution will be available across the province from July 2018 onward.
The stand-alone outlets will be run by the LCBO, Ontario's government-run liquor monopoly, which operates a chain of 651 liquor stores across the province. Legislation will be introduced later this fall.
Three other provinces — Quebec, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island — are also leaning toward a government-run retail monopoly, though no formal decision has been made yet.
Ottawa has committed to legalizing the adult-use industry by July 1, 2018.

This is why I can't relate to Progressive Democrats anymore.
Take a chill pill Progressive Democrats, seriously! ...
I don't like questioning peoples patriotism, even when issues of war/peace
on the line, but REALLY SOROS ???
SOROS, these are the kind of Trump hate blogs / shows you want to fund ???
Considering Stephen Colberts "F ... Trumps soul" comment - sometimes you gotta wonder if the correct people in media are getting fired.
Daily Kos: "F --- This Country"
By FibreglassTrout
"Fuck America. Any country represented by a majority of you imbeciles does not deserve my contributions to that society and culture.
To the MSM trying so dilgently to pander to a Trump presidency,
FUCK YOU! It's your negligence and fault we're here … on this precipes. Had you treated Donald like you did Hillary, perhaps the FBI would given us updates on Trump University investigations 11 days before the vote.
Fuck. This. Country.
I will sell my home and reap whatever profit I can, before heading south (it's like 15 minutes away) and enjoy a life outside if American politics. Say what you want about Mexico, but they'd never vote Trump president
Fuck this county. It no longer deserves me, nor my contributions to it. And to be honest, I ain't that great; but I am still better than America after Trump.
Fuck America."
my take on this:
Now I watch Hannity, The Five, Lou Dobbs, Dana Perino, (etc.) even for myself, - after being a life time Anti-War Liberal - and although Shaun disgustingly supports and promotes every U.S. war in history, no matter how many people get killed, he like other Fox News people put the military solution first. And like Lou Dobbs, and his frequent foreign policy contributor John Bolton, they unceasingly criticize every U.S. official ever trying to use diplomacy as an option, like with Iran. With the exception of Dana Perino, who is super great articulate orator and political analyst, (the best on tv for sure) these guys are so repetitive you can predict what they are going to say. That's why I liked Bob Beckel and Eric Bolling - although both are now fired from Fox News, but at least they were humorous. Hannity had some good comments yesterday, too - more on that later.
So - any thoughts Progressive Democrats ?
Do you want America to continue to be this polarized over a fairly moderate Republican Pres. Trump until the year 2021 - just because the MSM, some uninformed Hollywood types, and some Democrat Party operatives, public radio outlets need to raise funds, want campaign donations, sell tickets, or manipulate you with phony outrage?

Okay, so I read lots of of stuff on lots of runner's blogs and it's odd, but much of what I read is about
Everyone thinks this word, the act ...or the sounds are so hilarious! Also, everyone agrees, the odor, unless of course it is their own, is most obnoxious and vomitrocious - is that a word?
Everyone thinks this word, the act ...or the sounds are so hilarious! Also, everyone agrees, the odor, unless of course it is their own, is most obnoxious and vomitrocious - is that a word?
And no, I am not going to post about farts, their sounds, smells or discomfort they may cause. Instead, I am going to talk about something else, something I never see anyone blog about ...
Aunt Flow!
You know, that bit*h can really get in the way! Up to two weeks before she comes to visit, she can announce her stay with aches and pains. About a month ago, in between my son breaking his collar bone and my daughter getting a concussion, I actually had to have an emergency ultrasound for pain that made me think I'd rather be delivering a baby. At least with a delivery, you get a little fun person to feed, cuddle and love ...until of course they become teens, and think you're as dumb as a stick. Anyway, that pain was awful. It turned out to be a torqued ovary cyst, blah, blah, blah ....let's put it this way, it was worse than any gas pain!
Then, Aunt Flow, starts to bug you in other ways. Like a childhood bully, she is constantly poking at you ...maybe in the breast area. Ouch, that swollen, uncomfortable feeling when you go to lift anything, like groceries, a laundry basket or the garbage. There she is, whispering to you in that God-awful, nails on the chalkboard tone, "I'm coming, dear. Just making sure your ready."
If your lucky, maybe your Aunt Flow isn't as bad as I am describing. But, my Aunt Flow is so bad, I nearly hurled the other day, just trying to get through 5miles. And, Lord, where did I read, you should eat fish twice a week? 'Cause I baked some Cod last night and all Aunt Flow could tell me was, "Breathe in dear, you're never gonna get that fish smell out of your nose." And like an evil witch, she left me sipping flat soda, trying to get passed the nausea with her steady poking, that was so relentless, I had pain all the way up to under my underarm pits!
Ugh! I can't stand her!
Then, there's her she-devil taunting:
Half-crazed: "Just shut up, Aunt Flow. Besides, a few pounds would be good for me. I don't know if you've noticed, but I crap everything out! HELLOOOOO ...I got Crohn's."
Aunt Flow: "Yeah, but these pounds are where you never want them. Look. Look. Go to the mirror and looooook. Your ass and stomach are growing! And your thighs, hah! They are losing muscle, soon fat will take over those thighs and you will lose speed."
Of course it does not help that you feel swollen on every inch of your body,
crave chocolate like you'll die without it
crave chocolate like you'll die without it
and your head is pounding, like a freight train
just drove down the middle of your brain.
just drove down the middle of your brain.
There is just no way to reason when your head is in that much pain.
Thoughts like:
"Why do I still get pimples? I got freakin' wrinkles, do I really need pimples, too?"
"How can I run 5miles today? I don't even have the energy to run 1mile, let alone 5!"
How about remembering, ANYthing?
"And I have a huge exam tomorrow and crap, I forgot to buy bread today!"
Then, there is of course,
the resounding ...
"OMG. My life is in the crapper."
And, after all her taunting and teasing, Aunt Flow finally comes!
Well, I say...
"I'm ready for ya', Bit*h.
I got my pads,
I got my Tampax,
I got my Advil - for the pains in the back and in the front,
And, I've got my 'Granny Panties.'
Only this time, my Granny Panties are HOT!
That's right!
I'm tired of Aunt Flow making me feel like crap when she comes to visit! So I went to VS, and bought me some extra hot Aunt Flow Undies!
|That's right Aunt Flow, You want a piece of me?
And, now, Aunt Flow, You must excuse me, 'cause I'm going for my run!

With all the games, backstories, injuries and developments in a given week in the NFL, it is tough to know what to look for on Saturday. Here are five things to watch:
"New" back with old skills to watch
Ty Montgomery burst on the scene for the Packers last week, but his emergence as a running back — one of the most fun NFL stories all season — isn't entirely a shock.
Though it still is strange to see a back wearing a receiver's No. 88 like Montgomery, the second-year pro wasn't a stranger to the position before romping for 162 yards and two TDs in a 30-27 win over the Bears last week, which was crucial to 8-6 Green Bay's playoff hopes.
Not only is Montgomery built like a running back at 6-feet-2, 220 pounds, but the third-round pick spent time at that position his final two years at Stanford. He was a standout in that role as a senior, carrying 23 times for 144 yards (a 6.3-yard average).
So don't be surprised if Montgomery goes off again Saturday when the Packers play host to the Vikings in a pivotal NFC North matchup. Minnesota is ranked third overall in defense but just 18th against the run, and Montgomery looks like a good candidate to exploit that weakness.
Record chase to watch
Ezekiel Elliott not only is making a good case to be the NFL's Most Valuable Player as a rookie, but the incredible Cowboys newcomer is also on the cusp of history.
Eric Dickerson's 33-year-old league records for rushing yards and total yards by a rookie are in danger from Elliott heading into Monday night's visit by the Lions to the newly minted NFC East champion and the conference's No. 1 playoff seed.
Elliott needs just 258 rushing yards and 311 total yards over the final two games to unseat Dickerson's respective marks of 1,808 rushing yards and 2,212 total yards.
Neither is considered a long shot, considering Elliott is averaging 133 rushing yards and 147.5 total yards over his past two games, including a 159-yard rushing effort (and one hilarious Salvation Army kettle leap) in last week's 26-20 win over the Buccaneers.
About the only thing that could keep Elliott from the record is Dallas coach Jason Garrett, if Garrett — with nothing to play for in the final two games — decides that keeping his prized workhorse back healthy for the playoffs is more important than a place for Elliott in the NFL's history books.
Rising defensive star to watch
The Chargers' ridiculous contract standoff with Joey Bosa is looking dumber with each passing day that the Ohio State product shows he already is among the NFL's best pass rushers.
The No. 3-overall pick missed the first month of the season because San Diego's skinflint ownership wanted to delay when he received his signing bonus in full and wanted language inserted into the deal that would have saved them at most a couple of million dollars three years from now.
You have to wonder if that silly obstinance ended up costing the Chargers their season and might end up costing coach Mike McCoy his job, because Bosa has been a force of nature for otherwise struggling, 5-9 San Diego.
Heading into Saturday's visit to the winless Browns, Bosa has 3.5 sacks in his past four games and leads all rookies with 7.5 sacks in just 10 contests overall. Joe Thomas, Cleveland's perennial Pro Bowl left tackle, labeled Bosa "the most polished rookie pass rusher I've ever seen" in an interview this week.
More importantly, the Chargers are 4-6 and haven't allowed more than 393 yards with Bosa in the lineup after going 1-3 and allowing 410 or more yards twice while he was sidelined by the contract dispute.
Fading quarterback to watch
Kirk Cousins' bid for a huge offseason payday is taking a hit right along with the Redskins' playoff hopes.
Cousins has tailed off badly the past three weeks, coinciding with a 1-2 stretch that has left Washington 7-6-1 overall and gasping for air in the postseason hunt going into Saturday's trip to the Bears.
Including last Monday night's dismal, 26-15 home loss to the Panthers, Cousins completed 64 percent of his passes with three touchdowns and three interceptions (for an 85.4 passer rating) over the past three games.
That is big and worrisome dropoff from the Cousins who was preparing himself to cash in with his play the first 11 games. Cousins had a 101.4 rating during that stretch after completing 69 percent of his passes for 20 TDs and just seven interceptions.
The leaguewide depth at quarterback is so dismal that Cousins still is almost certain to do very well for himself in the offseason, either with Washington or somewhere else.
But the decision by Redskins general manager Scot McGloughan last offseason to take a wait-and-see approach with Cousins is looking more prudent by the day.
Underrated tight end to watch
It appears well past time for Greg Olsen to start getting his due as one of the NFL's all-time best tight ends.
That might sound strange considering the Panthers veteran was just voted to the Pro Bowl, but it was just the third such nod in Olsen's consistently terrific, 10-year career.
It still seems like Olsen is a long way off from hearing his name mentioned in the same Canton-bound company as Rob Gronkowski or Jason Witten, but Olsen is poised to do at least a little to change that when Carolina plays host to the Falcons on Saturday.
Olsen, who leads all NFL tight ends with 992 receiving yards this year, needs just eight receiving yards in the Panthers' final two games to become the first tight end in NFL history to record three consecutive seasons with 1,000 receiving yards.

Villanova vs Notre Dame
I recently had the opportunity to shoot the Villanova Notre Dame basketball game at the Wells Fargo Center. I really enjoy being able to shoot college basketball but especially when it's at the Wells Fargo. Thanks to www.independentphilly.com I was able to sit courtside for this great game between Nova and ND.
I particularly like this shot because I had my lens out as wide as it would go and he twisted his body to fit perfectly in my frame. Now if only he would be so kind next time as to face me it would be perfect. If he had just hung straight off the rim this picture wouldn't be nearly as nice.
At this point I don't have anymore college basketball lined up and hockey is ending so it'll be time to move outside and start shooting lacrosse.

Mountain Biking can be great way to stay in shape. Even if you are not a down hill adrenaline nut the XC world and Trail world is just as exciting. One thing which we all need on the trail is water, and quite a lot of it if you are riding for 5 or more miles. Backpacks with water reservoirs are a great way to store high amounts to keep you hydrated while keeping your bike lighter for maneuverability.
The Osprey Raptor 10 is one of our top choices for Fall & Winter biking. It's larger storage area is great for when you need to shed layers of clothes and need a place to store them. A large 3L reservoir holds plenty of water and the bite valve is perfect although the locking mechanism is a little difficult to use with one hand. Having a separate tool area at the bottom of the pack keeps heavier weighted item down low close to your hips, and keeps you from having to search through the pack looking for that one specific tool.
Fantastic back support gives your plenty of breathability between your back and the pack, and waist straps are easily tightened on the go. A nice little plus is the magnet holder that keeps your mouth peace next to you instead and swinging around…
The Cuda HD by Jackson Kayak is a high end fishing yak that gets you from the shoreline to your fishing hole with ease. Wider than it's brother Cuda, the Cuda HD maintains it's speed and allows for a much more stable boat for stand-up fishing.
Redesigned hatch covers, a more intuitive cargo area ,and a much better designed seat positioning system makes this HD model a tough choice for other manufacturers to beat.
Follow Leaf in Creek Ambassador & Jackson Kayak Fishing Team member Robert Brown around this boat and learn what all this new boat can offer you.
Check here to see if Leaf in Creek has your new Cuda HD in stock!
What is a Fidget Spinner?
Do you have ADHD? Even if you don't, the Fidget Spinner is a toy you won't want to put down. Having something in your hands will calm you if you are nervous, anxious, or aggravated. I have found that spinning my spinner even keeps me from the addiction of checking Facebook constantly.
Coming in different sizes, colors, designs, and quality, one thing they all have in common is a bearing that allows it to spin on it's axis.
Pick up one today at Leaf in Creek and you will quickly learn the effects the spinner can have on you 😁
The Evolve Inflatable SUP is great for those who don't have a way to transport a solid paddle board. It packs into a large sized backpack after being deflated and rolled up and comes with the hand pump and patch repair kit. These boards do not surf as good as solid boards but hold their own standard paddling. Wether you enjoy the ocean, lake or river the inflatable SUP will be able to handle it, and sometimes even better than a solid board. The tough rubber withstands abrasions from sand and rock whereas a solid board would chip or crack. This makes them great for shallow rivers where you often find yourself in 1ft of water.
The Stability a great. You still need a board to fit your body size, but being full of air they are extremely buoyant so standing on them is a breeze, this allows the first time rider to become comfortable very quickly. In really rough surf, like all boards, standing is a challenge and you gain your balance through experience.
Watch the quick illustration of our Evolve paddle boards and come check one out in store soon!
Here is a quick instructional on how to make your new Leaf in Creek™ Hawg Trough float. The Hawg Trough is the fish measuring board that most kayak anglers use to measure their fish. Most tournaments now require this particular board because it is easy to read when taking pictures.
When you buy a Hawg Trough from us or somewhere else, they do not come able to float (however we do have some available with this mod already installed). You can tie a string to it and keep it from falling out of the kayak and sinking, but with all the rigging in the boat already some times one less rope is grand!
The product we are using today comes from Home Depot. I am sure you can find it at Lowe's but I just know exactly where to find it at the Depot.
The Jackson Coosa HD is a new boat this year 2015. Wanting to create a yak that was smaller than the hefty Big Rig yet retaining some of it's stability. We all love the quick and nimble Coosa for it's light weight and spin-around maneuverability, but small boats often suffer when larger paddlers use them. Where the standard River Coosa excels with paddler weights around 180lbs, above that range standing in the kayak becomes a little uneasy. With practice it can be done but sudden shifts of weight can send you overboard. Prior to the Coosa HD, a paddler over 180lbs that wanted to stand easily to fish were forced to the Big Rig and Big Tuna. The Big Tuna being a tandem/Solo boat and Big Rig a big flat heavy boat designed for all day standing. Hands down, the Big Rig is the goto boat for fly fishing, bass flipping, salt flats and more. However it is very heavy and very slow. It excels in the lake but lacks in the quick currents of rivers.
Here is where the Coosa HD was designed to fit in, the go between. A little wider, a little heavier, a little flatter, all give the HD that more stable feeling a heavier paddler needs without jumping up to the almighty alheavy Big Rig. However, if you are 250lbs+ the HD will still feel like the standard and these anglers will find it much more comfortable with a Big Rig or Big Tuna.
Quick water with the Coosa HD is handled pretty well. Paddling upstream is a little difficult as the boat is less nimble than its river running brother but is capable of spinning quickly when paddling down stream which is needed when traversing rapids. Standing in the HD is quite enjoyable. Even if you just want to stretch your legs you won't feel that uneasy feeling you get in a boat to small for you. However, its not the Big Rig, you wouldn't want to fight a fish standing up as quick movements could still send you overboard.
With the added stability you can easily access the front hatch from your knees without loss of control, and accessing gear behind you is easily done as well. As your confidence grows you can easily step into this yak from the shoreline by just holding onto the seat.
Overall, this new kayak is a winner. A great balance for middle weight paddlers and a blast to ride in the quick rivers.
For more detail watch our video review of this yak, and come by and demo it in person at Leaf in Creek outfitters!

Kuwait's Ministry of Education has been left red faced after it included the names of deceased and retired staff in a list of people eligible for promotion, it was reported.
A source was quoted as saying the Minister of Education and Higher Education Ahmad Al Mulaifi had asked for the list to be compiled by the Administrative Affairs Department before the end of March.
However, the Arab Times newspaper reported that after the head of the relevant department went on sudden leave the Minister Health Dr Ali Al Obaidi, who was stepping in, signed the decision when the list was not fully ready. It said the situation was further complicated when the director of human resources also went on holiday.
About 7,000 employees were identified as qualifying for a promotion, though it is unclear how many were later identified as deceased or retired.
"There were speculations the director may have travelled to avoid compiling the list and the matter paved way for the scandalous error," one source quoted by the newspaper said.
He said it was not the first time the director had gone on leave during such a list, apparently taking leave when a list of employees who had served for over 35 years was being compiled.
However, he reportedly said the Service Department was also to blame after it had failed to remove the names of the retired employees on the pretext that the Civil Service Commission did not delete those names.
The situation is said to have created frustration across several departments.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

Venture capital financing in smart grid may be coming at the expense of similar types of investments for solar, according to a report from Mercom Capital Group LLC. With VC financing in smart grid at its highest in three years and solar in decline, the report, Smart Grid Funding and M&A 2010, suggests this might mean traditional VC model works better for smart grid plays than it does for solar.

I don't mind having full access -- I just mind that I can't get it to work for me. Can one of the committers who already manages to do whatever it is that needs doing to be able to login in to CVS please help me figure out why I'm not succeeding at being able to do that? I've been able to make the 'ssh ...' command work, but I can't get CVS to let me log in. You can send mail directly to me, so we don't clutter up the list.

i've played games watched the weather change been around the world and rode the range i've been educated don't know what about been back in time seen the yanks cry out give me more i've been shot down in the street beep to the moon never off my feet i've been intoxicated i've got culture shock it's x-rated i've been to bedrock
